I like to be 118 [pounds] (she's 5 foot 7); I'm thin at that weight - but it can get up to 125 [pounds].

Bisset could look close to 5 ft 7 in When Time Ran Out with Paul Newman, who was mid 50s by the time that was made. Bisset seemed a bit starstruck with Paul and in some scenes seemed to act like a schoolgirl with a crush! He seemed to like her too. She was always on the thin side and would have benefited in looks gaining 20-3o pounds I think.

She's amazing. I think she's about 5'6" & was 5'7" in her prime.

I would hesitate putting Bisset past 5’6.5”. 5’6.25” seems more logical than 5’6.5” to me; she was barely taller than Peter Sallis in Who is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? even when wearing heels! She generally looked a bit tall for 5’6” flat though, like Ellen Barkin.

I believe her, 169cm. The question is how much would she measure today as an old lady?

🎂💐💝 Happy Birthday Jacqueline! 💝💐🎂
It hardly seems possible that Jacqueline was born three quarters of a century ago today. Many Happy Returns to this lovely lady! 👩🥂😁
When I was a kid, I took great delight in calling her Jacqueline Biscuit! 🍪

I'm having a Bisset run at the moment, because her face and eyes just captivate me haha. Wild Orchid is a s**t film but seeing her and the lovely Carre Otis together was a treat. Bisset was one of the few women who could match her in looks, even with short, curly hair in the film. Another treat was seeing her and Ava Gardner in The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean. Ava aged badly due to her alcohol problem, but still a mighy sexy woman. Bisset in many ways seemed the opposite from somebody like Goldie Hawn, even as young woman she seemed a lot older than her years. 5 ft 6.5 is the most she could have been with Otis,

Agreed Gonzalo. Though I think she had a bit of an attitude and didn't like herself that much. I can imagine that dozens of costars tried to hit on her and hit a brick wall.

One of the most beautiful women to ever appear on the screen. I never thought she was that tall. I always thought she was more 1`66-67

In boat shoes in The Detective and not much shorter than Sinatra. Seems about right.
Arch Stanton said on 27/Dec/13
No, I think I posted on the wrong page at the time or got my wires crossed. I agree on 5'6" range.

5'8.5? are you serious?

Very beautiful woman, looks like she could be Liz Hurley's mother. Looks as good if not better now at nearly 70.

A legit 1.74m, looks the same height as Stallone. Unlike Lewis Hamilton who also claims 1.74!

She is one of the most beautiful women ever to appear on the screen. She looks 5`6 to me at the most. She`s got those incredible eyes......

Michael is quite slim and athletic that's why he appears to be pretty tall. I've seen him at Silverstone and he was an inch or so shorter than me and I'm 5'9.5 tall. His brother Ralf is about the same height as Coulthard, 5'10-5'11ish. Even the tallest F1 driver is no taller than 6'1 (Webber I think?)
